Speed

The first of the three quilts that hubby has carried to Europe has reached its destination, so I can show it to you now! This is Speed, a small, A4 sized quilt I made for my uncle, who is mad about cycling.



You will remember the screen print of the cyclist I made a while ago (yes, the background is another Lisa Walton handdyed fabric!). I also showed you the shadow I added with a Paintstick;



I then quilted it and finished it with a facing technique:



But felt that it lacked something, which is why I added the second cyclist with another paintstick. I had to give him a shadow as well and used yet another colour paintstick. I wasn't too happy about that choice afterwards, but there wasn't time to do anything about it.



This is the back of the quilt:



I'm happy to be able to tell you that after the last posting here (where I whined about being so tired) things got much better. We had a lovely, sunny weekend and I did quite a bit of quilting on a new quilt! Will show you a sneak peek soon.
